On March 4, it was reported that a shocking accident occurred on the highway recently.
A man driving a newly purchased Mercedes-Benz sedan was overly dependent on the vehicle's "intelligent assisted driving" function due to drowsiness at high speeds, and the vehicle suddenly deviated from the lane and collided with a normally moving tanker.
The dashcam captured the frightening scene. In the picture, the Mercedes-Benz sedan suddenly deviated from the lane without any warning and directly hit the tanker truck next to it. The accident resulted in severe damage to the right side of the Mercedes sedan, and both doors may need to be replaced.
It is understood that the man mentioned the naked car on the 21st of last month at a price of 52A new Mercedes-Benz car with a landing price of 980,000 yuan and a landing price of nearly 600,000 yuan. The estimated repair cost of this accident will be between 50,000 and 60,000 yuan. In the face of this sudden loss, the man was deeply remorseful.
He admitted that he turned on the intelligent driving assistance function at that time, but due to sleepiness, he relied too much on the system and did not find out when the system would automatically exit in time, which led to the accident.
After the accident, the man took full responsibility. The accident is also another reminder to drivers that although many vehicles are now equipped with "intelligent assisted driving" functions, these functions are still auxiliary in nature and are not fully autonomous. Drivers must be on high alert during driving and cannot rely too much on these systems, otherwise the driver will be held first responsible in the event of an accident.
Here, we urge all drivers, regardless of the high-tech assistance equipment in their vehicles, to make safe driving a top priority, to stay awake and focused at all times to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
